While this is true, it's also true that few people have the budget to spend a bunch of tokens on porting bun over to rust.

And yet we have stories[0] of companies judging merit on tokens used.

Rather than using these tokens to do rewrites that have the potential to massively improve the day to day, they're just burnt for the sake of burning them.

It's individual initiative, and company culture that are at play as much as budget.
